I don't know if this is a great spot to post this, but I don't think I can start my own post yet.

I was talking with someone today at work about the Big Ten Championship game. The person I was talking to is a big Wisconsin fan. We were both complaining about the divisions in the Big Ten. He's worried that if Wisconsin wins, they won't make the playoff due in part to the weaker schedule by being in the weaker division. That got me wondering, does anyone think that down the road the Big Ten will do away with the divisions and still keep the championship game? My thinking is that they could keep the championship game and the two teams that go to the championship will be the two teams that are ranked the highest in the CFP poll after the last week of the season. Thoughts?

My wife and I just finished a sale as a fundraiser for our adoption. Tons of friends donated their unwanted items for us to sell last weekend and this weekend. We ended up pulling in around $2200 between the 4 days, not including around $1200 that I sold online before the actual sale. That was way more than I thought we'd make. This was our first and probably last sale. It's a ton of work but was a big help towards our adoption costs.

I put a little Stabil in with the gas and then I still run it out. I don't like gas sitting in it all winter. At least what is left in the lines will have Stabil mixed in. This year I also emptied the oil and sharpened the blade so in the spring I just need to add gas and oil and I'll be good to go.

I am spending the morning working on lesson plans for next week and then I've got a moonlight softball tournament to play in tonight. I love playing softball but only committed to play today because of the bye week.

I can't start a thread, but wanted to share this. I had the chance to hear Coach Carr speak today to myself and the rest of the staff at West Ottawa, home of Rob Renes and Des Morgan. He had a nice speech including stories of his "that's a dumb question" halftime interview that got him in trouble with his wife, to Charles Woodson almost sitting out the '96 game at OSU, to reciting the poem "Casey at the Bat", which he had to memorize in 10th grade. He was very nice meeting with the staff and asking people things like where they earned their degree and what they teach. He signed autographs and took pictures with everyone after he finished. It was a fun day.

Congrats! I'm a teacher and my wife is hoping to land her first full time teaching position this year. It's a hard job that keeps getting harder, but it can be very rewarding at the same time. Good luck!

I teach Geometry and Algebra 2. I have a lot of students the struggle with geometry, then pick things back up in Algebra 2. It does sound like the class isn't structured the best too. Does the teacher just pull a section from the book each day? We got rid of our books and rewrote our materials just the way we want them. Also, I don't assign homework, just "home fun" which is just like homework but it doesn't sound quite do bad.

Here is a GoFundMe with more details and we are almost to our goal. Please help by donating or sharing the link on Twitter or Facebook as we push towards the last bit of funding that will hopefully allow us a chance to have kids. We have had some donations from people we don't know and have had quite a few former Michigan players RT the link on Twitter, which is cool. Thanks to those that share the link, pray and consider a donation. Go Blue! www.gofundme.com/klassenbaby
